Kumasi, located in the Ashanti Region of Ghana, has earned a prestigious place in both the historical and modern narratives of Ghana and West Africa. The city, once the capital of the powerful Ashanti Kingdom, remains a pivotal economic hub, with gold at the core of its identity. Known for its long-standing ties to the gold trade, Kumasi is a city where the wealth of natural resources has shaped its past, present, and future, making it a key player in Ghana’s economic heartbeat.
Kumasi’s prominence dates back to the late 17th century, when it became the capital of the Ashanti Kingdom, one of the most powerful states in pre-colonial West Africa. Under the leadership of Osei Tutu, the Ashanti Kingdom emerged as a dominant force, with Kumasi as the epicenter of its military, economic, and cultural prowess.
One of the most remarkable aspects of the Ashanti Kingdom was its military strength, which allowed it to defend its territories and expand its influence throughout West Africa. However, this power was underpinned by the kingdom’s wealth, which was largely derived from the gold trade. Gold was not only a commodity for the Ashanti but also a symbol of their divine right to rule, with the Golden Stool (Sika Dwa Kofi) representing the soul and unity of the Ashanti people.
Today, Kumasi remains a gold-rich city, playing a central role in Ghana’s economy. While it is no longer the capital of a vast kingdom, it serves as the capital of the Ashanti Region, which is one of the most important gold-producing areas in Ghana. The Ashanti Region is home to several large-scale gold mining operations that contribute significantly to Ghana’s overall gold production, which makes the country one of the top gold producers globally.
Kumasi’s gold wealth continues to be driven by both industrial and artisanal mining activities. Large-scale companies and world’s leading gold mining companies, operate in the Ashanti Region. These companies operations have significantly contributed to Kumasi’s economy, providing jobs, infrastructure development, and foreign exchange earnings for Ghana.
The influence of this wealth is not only visible in the region’s thriving gold industry but also in the rapid development of high-end residential neighborhoods. As Kumasi continues to expand economically, thanks to both its gold mining sector and its role as the cultural and educational hub of Ghana, luxury real estate developments are springing up across the city, catering to a growing middle and upper class.
As Kumasi grows, several high-end residential neighborhoods have emerged in areas such as Hill top, Ahodwo, Patasi, Danyame, Santasi and several others, symbolizing the modern-day translation of the city’s historic wealth. These upscale areas reflect the city’s ongoing prosperity and the influence of the gold industry, as affluent residents-many of whom have ties to the mining sector, business, or the political elite-seek premium living spaces. Some of the most prominent high-end residential neighborhoods in Kumasi include
The emergence of these affluent neighborhoods is a clear reflection of Kumasi’s economic growth, much of which can be traced back to the region’s historical gold wealth. The development of the gold mining industry, particularly with companies like AngloGold Ashanti operating near the city, has created a ripple effect, boosting not only the local economy but also the disposable income of individuals connected to the industry.
As gold continues to be a major export for Ghana, Kumasi’s gold mining activities have contributed significantly to national revenue, foreign exchange, and job creation. This influx of wealth has led to a rise in demand for luxury housing, as professionals, business leaders, and expatriates working in the mining and related sectors seek high-quality living spaces. Furthermore, the growing middle class, many of whom are linked to Kumasi’s thriving trade, education, and professional services sectors, is also driving demand for real estate in these upscale neighborhoods.
I love Kumasi and thier beautiful neighborhoods.
Kumasi my beloved city ❤❤
Kumasi is my number one place to move to when I, finally break free from DAMNeriKKKa! When I first came across a video of Kumasi back in 2019. My spirit felt so at peace with that beautiful, amazing place.❤🌠
I will be there very soon making it my forever home. 🙏🏿😍🥰
Ashanti kingdom will forever be powerful 🔥🔥
@@dennisfrimpong6507 They would be beautiful up until their gold is depleted. Had they be doing diversification from raw materials exportation and making local beneficiation from their raw materials they would be more safer economically. They must further industrialize the country to fight poverty and peasantry.
I had no idea Kumasi was this beautiful ❤
Beautiful Kumasi the garden city
Kumasi is an extremely wealthy and beautiful city
Best Kumasi video. I will visit soon from Takoradi.
Forget about the naysayers. Kumasi has been able to diversify it's mineral resources to commercial city. It's a beautiful place live with potential growth. There is no mining town in Ghana that has been able to diversify it's mineral resources than Kumasi. With or without Obuasi gold mine, Kumasi will develop..
Kumasi forever ♥️
❤❤

Shame on anyone who used to call Kumasi a village
They are jealous
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Lovely city !!!
Was waiting on this
Nice video
Wow, very nice video, God bless you
It is commendable and good to see you venturing into the coverage of other major cities of Ghana like Kumasi and Tema. We are tired of seeing developments only in the capital cities of West Africa. When next you cover Nigeria take a dive into some state capitals like Uyo (Akwa Ibom), Oyo (Ibadan), Jos (Plateau), Lokoja (Kogi), Kaduna City (Kaduna), Benin City (Edo), Asaba (Delta), Enugu City (Enugu), Port Harcourt (Rivers State), Abakaliki (Ebonyi), Kano City (Kano), Yola (Adamawa), Calabar (Cross River), Awka (Anambra), Owerri (Imo), Umuahia (Abia), and some commercial cities like Aba, Onitsha, etc.
nigeria is zoo
Garden city is coming back🎉
Good
This is my lovely city in Africa
Lovely video.
You see how Kumasi is beautiful and clean.? I'm warning those who don't know Kumasi and always talking shit about Kumasi is dirty and our king didn't do anything, when you watch this video did you see any dirty in Kumasi fools ?
They are jealous
Who Talks Africa Not Clean And Beautiful? Haha ❤❤❤.
❤❤❤❤
They call it Kumasi but I call it a country on it's own
this is breathtakingly beautiful, can you kindly vlog TAMALE the third largest city of Ghana.
The only Garden city of west Africa
Port harcourt the True garden city
Kumasi's garden city tag was given by Queen Elizabeth, when she visited Kumasi.
@@chisomnzeh6249 zoo man what are you doing here? Are you not ashamed of yourself and your country, u are looking for a place to move there right? Shame on you and your country.
@geoffreyosuji6166 it doesn't matter even if the Queen of England says so, but in all sincerity Kumasi is very beautiful and very green. I love that city passionately.
@@chisomnzeh6249 zoo man you want a place to relocate right? What’s port harcourt? What are you selling there?
Kumasi has nom gold my friend is rather obuasi Adansi but with small,smal roads
Pls come do a video of Onitsha which has the largest market in west Africa
The largest market in West Africa is now Kejetia market in Kumasi Ghana, not Onitsha, Google it
Not true, Kejetia Market in Kumasi Ghana is now the largest market in West Africa, Google it.
Stop tripping. Kejetia is West Africa's biggest market.
Kumasi is not very far off Accra.
The so called cities in Ghana are sub standard cities. Kumasi is nice but can be nicer, . A city shouldn't have open gutters and too many cables in the sky. They should be underground. Again, the sign board is too much in Ghana. They should be electronic, fixed to the high buildings.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 this man is funny paa oh
Kumasi, the capital of the Asante Kingdom 😂😂😂
Gold rich for the galamsey chiefs not for contributing to Ghana. Politics have shaped Kumasi and Ashanti region not Gold as has been exaggerated here. Even religion has contributed much to the region than gold!
Yes indeed there are gold there but the gold has become a curse. The gold is destroying Ghana's lands, forests and rivers
What were you doing with the Forest. There should be pressure on people to be more safty cautious but all that talks of banning local mining is not nice
Next time please include some historic tourist sites in your videos like lake Bosomtwe and Manhyia palace Museum . Any time you visit Kumasi contact me i will take you to all the hidden areas in kumasi like Atasomanso paraku estate, Daban new site, Konkromoase, Santasi Ayinam, diamond hills, Askore Mampong industrial enclave and Otumfuo Osei tutu ii estate at prabon we have some plush apartments and restaurants as well in Kumasi. Not to take of Ahodwo Nhyiaeso and Danyame. For those of you saying all sort of ills about Kumasi i dont blame you because some of you the only place you know in Kumasi are kejetia and those from other regions that schools at Knust your last movement is at Asafo market. No proper Ashanti dominated suburb in Kumasi is dirty. In the next coming years it will shock guys you just continue saying trashed about Kumasi.
Oh don't mind them my brother they are fools . leave them
Look at how Adom and Kejetia are busy but still that place is clean. ❤❤❤❤ my City
